Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo join forces again on the Legal AF podcast, and debate: why Trump is sending a mafia-like message to Chief Justice Roberts and why they are doubling down on their fight with the Supreme Court; whether the Supreme Court will uphold a new order blocking Trump's efforts to drum Transgender soldiers out of the military; whether a federal judge will (or can) find the Trump Administration in contempt for refusing to follow court orders; whether a federal judge will be successful in putting USAID back together again, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Legal AF's Michael Popok provides urgent real-time live briefing on late-breaking law and politics events from today. Tonight, in the Trump Openly Defying Federal Judges Edition, Popok (a) examines the unprecedented and historic ostracism of Trump by the Chief Justice of the US, John Roberts, in direct real time response to Trump attacking a federal judge earlier in the day as corrupt and calling for his impeachment; (b) examines the underlying injunction and contempt proceedings presided over by Chief Judge Boasberg to question Trump's phony assertion of War Powers and the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to turbo charge his deportation of undocumented to evil supermax prisions in El Salvador and worse; (c) a new order today by a San Francisco federal judge finding that Trump has violated his injunction by not properly rehiring tens of thousands of probationary workers; (d) a new order today from a Maryland federal judge that found that the Trump Administration violated the constitution in its putting USAID out of business, ordering that its payment system be turned back on and and declaring Musk the head of DOGE whether Trump likes it or not; (e) Trump's blatant violation of law and precedent by firing the 2 democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission in the face of recent rulings that told him that this was illegal; (f) a federal judge ruling that Trump violated the constitution by attacking a law firm and firing them from government contracts for representing clients against Trump, and so much more.

In an unprecedented and historic development, Chief Justice Roberts has opened a direct dialogue with Trump in public, admonishing him in a statement in real-time for attacking Federal Judge Boasberg this morning for blocking his illegal use of war powers to deport people in a social media rant, calling him a lunatic and calling for his all caps “IMPEACHMENT”. Michael Popok takes a deep dive into Roberts' direct finger-wagging at Trump, his historic decision to do it outside the confines of an actual court ruling as the chief administrator and defender of the federal court system, and what it could mean when the case ends up before the Supreme Court.

The only thing standing between the Trump Administration’s open defiance and our constitutional Republic and rule of law is Chief Judge of the DC District Court, Jeb Boasberg, who dressed down Trump DOJ lawyers who tried to argue that they did not have to comply with his oral rulings and that the Chief Judge was not qualified to obtain classified information and had no jurisdiction to stop Trump’s use of his presidential powers to deport people without a hearing to a brutal supermax prison in El Salvador. Things went downhill from there for Trump’s DOJ. Michael Popok looks closely at last night’s bombshell hearing, and what the Judge and appellate courts up to the Supreme Court will do next.

Trump is claiming that Biden’s Pardons of his family, Jan6 Committee Members, Dr. Fauci and General Milley among others, are invalid and that it won’t stop his DOJ from going after them, because Biden did what all presidents have done before him, used the aid of a Mechanical autopen to sign written pardon declarations, Michael Popok explains that the power of the pardon is absolute, and does not require writing at all, and that the use of the Autopen to sign pardons is common practice including during the GW Bush Administration, as the Supreme Court will have to stop Trump in his tracks and reaffirm the absolute power of a president to pardon.

A new constitutional crisis has broken out with the Trump Administration refusing to comply, again, with a Federal judge’s orders. In a new filing, The Trump Administration just confessed to violating a Court Order to stop Trump’s unconstitutional exercise of war powers to deport hundreds of people to El Salvador and Honduras in violation of a DC Chief Judge’s order blocking that action, and the ACLU representing Plaintiffs have filed this morning their Notice to the Court outlining that the ways in which Trump has violated the Court’s order, and demanding that the Court intervene and take action. Michael Popok breaks down what has happened in the last 48 hours, and what will happen next in court.

Fresh off her interview of Trump on the recession for Fox News, “journalist” Maria Bartiromo accepted the grift of being named by Trump to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Board, continuing an unbroken string of more than a dozen Fox “independent journalists” who have been rewarded with key positions in the Trump Administration. Michael Popok breaks it all down.

Michael Popok takes a deep dive into the new lawsuit filed in Massachusetts and observes what happens next.
